Maverick Rally Rules

General Information

These rules govern the design and conduct of trap-free road rallies sponsored by Maverick
Region PCA. The typical Rally will be less than 100 miles in length and require no more than 3
hours to complete. The route and instructions will be proofed by at least one experienced rallyist
for compliance and accuracy.

Any variation to these rules and any additional required information will be distributed
before the start of the rally. Details of mileage measurement will also be available before
the start of the rally.

Entry

Each team will have a driver and a navigator. The driver must be at least 18 years old
and hold a valid driver's license and proof of minimum legal insurance. An entry fee may be
required.

Classification

Classification must be declared at registration before starting the rally. Teams may not
change classification after the start of the rally. Entrants arriving at the start after the
first Touring Class car has departed may compete only in the Touring Class.

Any navigational aid or equipment is allowed in any class, which consist of:

Touring Class

Timed Class

Passengers of any age may ride with entrants in the Touring Class, but passengers must be
no older than 8 years in the Timed Class. Route instructions will be identical for both
classes.

Cars in the Timed Class must have an assigned car number prominently displayed on the
center front windshield on the outside of the car.

Time & Start

Official time is Coordinated Universal Time as broadcast on WWV. An official timepiece,
synchronized to official time, will be present at the start of the rally. Start times will
be assigned at 1-minute intervals with all cars in the Timed Class preceding the Touring
Class by 15 minutes or more. Each team, regardless of classification, is responsible for
starting at the assigned time.

Checkpoint Procedures (All Cars)

There will be one or more manned timing station(s) on the right side of the rally route at
the end of each timed portion (leg) of the rally. The station will close 30 minutes after
the perfect arrival time for the last car in the Timed Class.

Entrants must pass the checkpoint sign traveling approximately at the currently assigned
average speed or the speed limit. Touring Class cars should continue without stopping.

The official time of arrival will be measured in minutes and seconds as the right front
wheel passes the timing line, indicated by a checkpoint sign. Times will only be recorded
for numbered cars (Timed Class), except that times will not be taken on cars passing the
timing line from the wrong direction and cars must not execute a U-turn in sight of the
manned timing station.

Timed Class cars will pull off the road and stop near the worker(s) who be well past the
checkpoint sign. Remain in the order of arrival if possible. The navigator will roll down
the window and wait for a worker to approach. The worker will collect any Delay Claims and
hand out timing slips. Drivers should then check for traffic, pull back onto the road and
travel safely to the starting point for the next leg or location of the post-rally scoring
party.

Scoring & Finishing Position

Touring Class: Scores will be based solely on answers to fill-in-the-blank
questions, which serve as evidence of having driven the route. One penalty point will be assigned
for each incorrect or incomplete answer. Tie Breaker questions will be used to break ties.

Timed Class: One point will be assigned for each second of deviation,
early or late, from perfect time of arrival. Any allowable delay that is claimed will be
subtracted from the timing error. Answers to the fill-in-the-blank questions designed for
the Touring Class will be used to break ties.

Finishing positions in each class will be ranked from the lowest score (first place) to
the highest score (last place).

Protests

In the event of protest against an entrant or a fault in the rally, the rallymaster will
appoint a committee of three experienced rallyists to settle the dispute before awards are
made. Decisions of the committee are final.
